Pyongyang, August 28 (KCNA) -- An enlarged meeting of the Central
Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea was held under the
guidance of

Kim Jong Un, first
secretary of the WPK, chairman of its Central Military Commission,
first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and
supreme commander of the Korean People's Army (KPA).
Present at the meeting were members of the WPK Central Military
Commission, executive members of the KPA Party Committee, senior
officials of the General Political Bureau, the Ministry of the People's
Armed Forces, departments and sections of the General Staff of the KPA,
commanding officers of all the services and corps-level units, military
academies at all levels, senior officials of the organs of state
security and people's security, the WPK Central Committee, Cabinet and
the field of foreign affairs and chief secretaries of the Provincial
Party Committees.
The meeting analyzed and reviewed the revolutionary measures taken
by the WPK and the DPRK government under the most dangerous situation
which reached the brink of war, successes, experience and lessons drawn
from the course of implementing them. On the basis of them, it discussed
important strategic tasks to bolster up the national defence capability
as firm as iron wall.
The meeting also discussed measures for recovering from the flooding
which hit Rason City and dismissed some members of the WPK Central
Military Commission and appointed new ones and dealt with an
organizational matter.
Informing its participants of details of the recent crisis, Kim Jong Un
analyzed and reviewed the preparations for military operations made by
the frontline units which had been in the state of war and the work done
in various fields in the areas where the semi-war state had been
declared and how the north-south high-level urgent contact was made and
appreciated them.
He said that under the touch-and-go situation the WPK displayed its
correct leadership art by steering the whole country, all the people and
the service personnel and made resolute decisions and set forth
strategic policies for putting the difficult situation under control.
All the people turned out as human bullets and bombs to defend the
revolution and the front and rear and the service personnel and people
single-mindedly came out in the courageous actions to protect the
country, he said, adding that the might of the whole state and
all-people unity was something unprecedented. We protected the dignity
and sovereignty of the country, the gains of the revolution and the
happiness of the people by our own efforts amid the tempest of the
history without anybody's support and sympathy, he noted.
He said that this time the DPRK proposed the north-south high-level
urgent contact on its own initiative and put under control the situation
which inched close to an armed conflict, thereby clearing the dark
clouds of war that hung over the Korean nation and defended peace and
stability on the Korean peninsula and in the region.
The joint press release published at the contact provided a crucial
landmark occasion of defusing the acute military tension and putting the
catastrophic inter-Korean relations on the track of reconciliation and
trust.
He said that the DPRK's sovereignty and fundamental interests can
never be bartered for anything and dialogue and peaceful climate
contrary to them are meaningless.
Noting that peace restored under the situation that reached the
brink of a war was by no means something achieved on the negotiating
table but thanks to the tremendous military muscle with the nuclear
deterrent for self-defence built by the great party as a pivot and
matchless ranks single-mindedly united around the party, he emphasized
that the armed forces of Songun and the single-minded unity that have
grown stronger amid the tempest of the times always serve as an
essential guarantee for defending peace on the peninsula.
Underscoring once again the need to channel top priority efforts
into bolstering up the military capability for national defence, he
specified strategic tasks and ways for doing so.
Informing the meeting in detail of the flood which hit Rason City
recently, he issued an order of the supreme commander of the KPA to it
to undertake the work for recovering from it and complete it before the
anniversary of the founding of the party and organized a command for the
campaign. -0-

Pyongyang, August 27 (KCNA) -- Kim Yang Gon, member of the
Political Bureau and secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers'
Party of Korea, gave the following answers to questions raised by KCNA
Thursday as regards the recent north-south high-level urgent contact:
As was already reported, the north and the south held a high-level
urgent contact at Panmunjom from August 22 to 24 and had a wide-ranging
discussion on various issues of putting under control the recently
created grave situation and improving the north-south relations and made
public a joint press release on the basis of its results.
The joint press release reflected the will and stand of both sides
to prevent armed conflicts, de-escalate tensions and promote the
development of the bilateral relations.
It was very fortunate that the recent contact helped defuse the
danger of the touch-and-go situation that may plunge not only the Korean
peninsula but the whole of Northeast Asia into the whirlpool of an
upheaval and offered an opportunity of a dramatic turn in achieving
peace, stability, reconciliation and cooperation between the north and
the south.
We are pleased over the fact that the north and the south sat face
to face, sympathized with the danger of the situation and had an
exhaustive discussion to reach an agreement on issues of common concern,
thus opening up an epochal phase for turning misfortune into blessings
in the north-south relations.
The public at home and abroad are unanimously welcoming the north
and the south for preventing the situation from plunging into an
unpredictable conflict and joining hands for reconciliation.
The north and the south should value the spirit of the agreement
reached at the contact and not just feel complacent at tiding over the
extreme crisis but advance the north-south relations in the constructive
direction for reunification.
It is my view that the contact would not have considerable meaning if it just ends up as a stop-gap measure.
Both sides should wipe out mistrust and confrontation and opt for
mending the bilateral relations from a bold stand through dialogue and
negotiations.
As was agreed in the joint press release, the north and the south
should resolve issues of common concern through dialogue and
negotiations between the authorities and reenergize broad exchanges and
cooperation in various fields.
To this end, it is of priority importance to keep afloat and develop
the present trend of situation in which the north and the south put on
the track of detente with much effort.
The north and the south should never allow such happening which
makes them get inveigled in a disturbing situation for uncertain
reasons, leading the situation to an extreme phase.
In fact, the north and the south should not have been embroiled in such abnormal case as the recent one.
Both sides should learn a lesson from the recent case, should not
lose reason and temper when complicated problems arise in the
inter-Korean relations but make efforts to prevent the recurrence of
such incident.
The north and the south should no longer be bound to the past but
care about the future of the nation first and look far into the future
and join hands for repairing the relations and achieving reunification.
There can be forces unwilling for the rapid development of the
north-south relations. So, we should be vigilant against them.
From this viewpoint, the north and the south should pay particular
attention to preventing any unexpected incident from happening and
firmly maintain the idea of By Our Nation Itself.
Consistent is the stand of the DPRK to bring about a great change
and surge in the north-south relations and open up a wide avenue to
independent reunification this significant year of the 70th anniversary
of Korea's liberation.
We will make positive efforts to improve the north-south relations
as desired by all the Koreans in the spirit agreed upon at the recent
north-south high-level urgent contact. -0-

Greetings to all Songun Idea followers on August 25th Day of Songun !
Today is the 55th anniversary of the start of the Songun revolutionary
leadership . The Songun revolutionary leadership of the great
leader comrade KIM JONG IL which began on the 25th of August 1960 when
the confrontation with US and world imperialism was most intense and the
modern revisionists were putting pressure on the DPRK to give up the
revolutionary road . By visiting the Seoul Ryu Kyong no 105 Tank
Division of the Korea People's army chairman KIM JONG IL continued the
cause of Songun pioneered by the great leader President KIM IL SUNG
and heralded the start of the Songun revolution .
The decades that followed were decades of victory
and glory in which the powerful armed forces of Juche under the Songun
revolutionary leadership dealt many blows against the US imperialist
such as the Pueblo incident and the Panmunjom incident.

Thanks to the successful Songun revolutionary leadership the DPRK is
now a socialist nuclear power and a satellite launcher and one of a
dozen countries with SLBM capability. The DPRK stands out as the
militant anti-imperialist bastion and fortress of world socialism.
Songun politics is the cutting edge of anti-imperialist independent
ideology that inspires the world revolutionary people.The Songun
revolutionary leadership also powerfully inspired the south Korean
people in their revolutionary struggles . Today the Songun revolutionary leadership is continued by the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN!

London 25th of August Juche 104(2015)Today the ASSPUK and JISGE issued a joint statement on the occasion of the 3rd anniversary of the historic speech of Marshal Kim Jong Un "Only Victory and Glory Will Be in Store for Us Who are Advancing under
the Unfurled Flag Bearing the Immortal Beaming Images of the Great Kim
Il Sung and Kim Jong Il ";
It is now some three years since this highly significant speech was . It was a profound manifestation of the will of the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un to reunify Korea.
In the speech the dear respected leader
Marshal Kim Jong Un praised the Songun revolutionary leadership of the
great leader comrade Kim Jong Il which had started on August 25th at the
Seoul Ryu Kyong Su no 105 tank division of the KPA. He said that August
25th is as important as April 25th the day of the foundation of the
KPA.
These speech was made not in Pyongyang but in a
frontline area the eastern sector of the front. Dear respected Marshal
Kim Jong Un is not an armchair general but a man of action and great
commander who visits frontline areas regardless of the safety of his own
life. He visited many front-line units in the face of the enemy sometimes twice or three times. He gave
the order for the KPA to mount a decisive retaliatory strike should even
a shell fall on the territory of the DPRK and that the KPA should lead a
war for national reunification.
In the work the dear respected Marshal
Kim Jong Un referrring to the tense situation created by the US imperialist and south Korean puppetcounter
a provocation with a prompt counterattack and a war of aggression with a
great, just war for national reunification!' This is our principled
stand and steadfast will.
We will not remain an onlooker to the
enemies' frantic moves for aggression but make every possible effort to
protect the destiny of the country and the nation.
It is the truth proved by history that no force on earth can overpower the people who are all out for the cause of justice.
If
another war breaks out on this land due to the U.S. and the south
Korean puppet forces' intolerable actions, though we do not want it, the
war will only bring a shameless doom to them and our great nation will
greet a new bright day of national reunification."

Thus dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un clarified the will of the KPA
and Korean people to reunify Korea if the US imperialists and south
Korean puppets dare to attack the DPRK. If such a war broke it would
become a sacred nationalreunification war , a war of
liberation. 69 years of cruel national division would be over and the
south Korean people liberated from the oppression and exploitation of US
imperialism . It would be final victory in the anti-US showdown.As the US imperialists increase their anti-DPRK moves each day and the showdown with the US deepens it becomes even more important to study this work . It is a powerful militant ,
revolutionary and anti-imperialist speech that inspires us Juche idea
and Songun idea followers of the UK !ASSPUKJISGE

The
Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK and the Juche Idea Study
Group of England issued the following joint statement on the 2nd anniversary of the publication of the work "Let Us Add Eternal Brilliance to comrade Kim Jong Il's Idea and the Achievements of the Songun Revolution" by dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un.This work, which takes the form of a talk given to the
daily press organs of the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean
People's Army , very clearly analyses and sums up the achievements of
the Songun revolution under the leadership of the great leader
generalissimo Kim Jong Il and charts the way forward along the road of
Songun, independence and socialism . The work was published on the occasion
of the Day of Songun , the 53rd anniversary of the start of the Songun
revolutionary leadership of the great leader generalissimo Kim Jong Il
which began with the guidance given to the historic Seoul Guards Ryu
Kyong Su no 105th Tank division of the Korean People's Army. This
anniversary is not only acclaimed by the Korean people but by Songun
idea followers throughout the whole world. In the work dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un praises the exploits of
the great generalissimo's Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in creating a new
history of Songun and ushering in the era of Songun , he also clarifies
the essence and originality of Songun , explains the history of the
Songun revolutionary leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il
and calls for putting into effect the instructions of the great leader
comrade Kim Jong Il.
Dear
respected Marshal Kim Jong Un in the work points out the Songun idea is
an revolutionary idea embodying the anti.imperialist stand. This sums
up the Songun Idea in a nutshell and shows why it should not only
be
studied by the Korean people but the revolutionary people's of the world
in order to guide them in their anti-imperialist struggle for
independence. Songun is intimately bound up with the anti-US,anti
imperialist struggle as dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un says"Regarding the strengthening of the KPA as the most important of affairs
in the Songun revolution, he raised the KPA as the buttress, the main
force, of our revolution and achieved the historic victory in the grim
anti-imperialist, anti-US showdown in defence of the country's security
and socialism by training the KPA to be the army of the leader
boundlessly faithful to the cause of the WPK (Workers' Party of Korea),
to be an invincible revolutionary army"
Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un lucidly explains the relationship between Juche and Songun " As an idea enriched and developed in the course of the practical
struggle to apply the Juche idea, the Songun idea is a scientific
revolutionary theory which makes it possible to satisfy the requirements
of the Juche idea in a perfect and comprehensive way.
The formulation and development of the idea and theory of the Songun revolution by the great Comrade Kim Jong Il
further enriched the ideological and theoretical treasure-house of our
revolution and greatly increased the appeal and vitality of the Juche
idea.

The Juche idea is the roots of the Songun idea and the latter is a brilliant embodiment of the former.
Thanks to the Songun idea, the Juche idea could be splendidly
applied to the revolutionary practice, shining more brightly as a great
guiding ideology which guarantees the victorious advance and
accomplishment of the masses' cause of independence."

This is a brilliant exposition of the
dialectical correlation between the Juche Idea and Songun idea which
we find greatly inspiring.

It is also
explained that Songun is absolutely essential in this era for advancing
the revolution and socialism as dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un so
correctly says

" In order for the masses to carve out their destiny and accomplish the
cause of socialism amid sharp confrontation with the imperialists and
constant danger of war, they must, before anything else, firmly hold up
and strengthen the arms of the revolution. It is a serious lesson taught
by the history of the world socialist movement that when the arms of
the revolution are weak or waver, they can defend neither the destiny of
the masses nor socialism"

This is so very true. In
the
past some socialist countries unilaterally disarmed themselves following
the "peaceful co-existence " theory of revisionism or adhered to the
concept of "non ideology" and rejecting the party 's leadership of the
armed forces this rendering them useless so that they could not defend
socialism from the intrigues of the imperialists and socialism collapsed
like a house of cards.Nowadays dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN is putting great emphasis on the anti-US , anti-imperialist class edcuation

Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un's work "Let Us Add Eternal Brilliance to comrade Kim Jong Il's Idea and the Achievements of the Songun Revolution is an excellent summation of the history of the Songun revolutionary and at the same time a militant declaration that the
DPRK will adhere to the idea of Songun forever and never step back from
the road that it has chosen . It is more than that , it is a guideline
and programme for advancing along the road of the Songun revolutionary
leadership in the future.

On the occasion of
the 2nd anniversary of its publication we have no hesitation in
commending this work to our members and Songun idea followers of the
world. A must read for those who wish to study Songun.

55 years ago, Chairman Kim Jong Il
inspected the Seoul Ryu Gyong Su Guards 105th Tank Division of the
Korean People’s Army on August 25, 1960 and his visit was a historic
event that proclaimed his succession of the cause of the Songun
revolution and the start of his Songun-based leadership.

Since
then the sacred history and tradition of the Songun revolution
pioneered and advanced on Mt. Paektu on the strength of arms, has been
succeeded successfully and the historic turn has been brought about in
building up the KPA and accomplishing the revolutionary cause of Juche.

Songun was Chairman Kim Jong Il’s revolutionary idea, his practice in the revolution, his political ideal and his political mode.

He
won the victory in the grim anti-imperialist, anti-US showdown in order
to defend the Juche socialism. And the history of his Songun
revolutionary leadership is shining as the sacred history.

He
raised the KPA as the buttress, the main force of the revolution in the
face of myriad of difficulties and firmly safeguarded socialist Korea
founded by President Kim Il Sung by wisely leading the DPRK Army and people.

The
history of his Songun revolutionary leadership is shinning as immortal
annals during which he laid solid cornerstone for national prosperity
and the accomplishment of the Juche revolutionary cause.

In
the flames of great upsurge in the revolution, the dynamic campaign are
being waged to push back the frontiers of science and technology and
for the industrial revolution in the new century. The monumental
edifices symbolizing the Songun era have been built throughout the
country.

With
his prominent Songun revolutionary leadership, he frustrated the
anti-reunification confrontational scheme of the separatists at home and
abroad to open up the June 15 era advanced by the united efforts of the
Korean nation. He secured the peace in Asia and the world and made
great contributions to the realization of the cause of independence for
humankind.

His
whole life dedicated to Songun was a brilliant career of peerless
patriot and outstanding revolutionary only for the country and
revolution.

Now
the justness and vitality of Songun politics are displayed to the full.
The world revolutionary people, who are aspiring after independence
against imperialism, positively support Songun politics and highly
praise the exploits of the Chairman.

Saying
that the destiny of the nation and the future of reunification depend
on the Songun politics, the south Korean people are lost in admiration
for it.

The
Internet websites introducing Songun politics are on the increase in
south Korea and the articles admiring it such as “Source of power to
protect the sovereignty of the nation is Songun politics.”, “Songun
politics, the guarantee for peace on the Korean Peninsula deters the
provocation of the US nuclear war”, “Songun politics and destiny of the
nation” are posted on the websites.

Noting
that they lead the peaceful life thanks to the Songun politics, the
south Koreans are appreciating it safeguarding the nation and opening up
the way to reunification and prosperity.

Now the cause of Songun revolution is succeeded vigorously by the supreme leader Kim Jong Un.

Under his wise leadership, the idea and exploits of Songun revolutionary of Chairman Kim Jong Il will go down along with the new century of the Juche era.

London 24th of August Juche 104(2015)
The 55 years of Songun revolutionary leadership that started on the 25th of August 1960 have been 55 years of victory and glory . The Songun revolutionary leadership that was started by the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL is today continued and carried to new heights by the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN.
The Songun revolutionary leadership began in the heady days of the struggle against US imperialism and modern revisionism. In the days of the early 1960s the US imperialists were increasing their pressure on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea , the bastion of socialism and independence . The US imperialists shipped nuclear weapons and missiles into Korea. Allied to the US imperialists , were the modern revisionists who wanted to force Korea to give up its independence and compromise with and capitulate to US imperialism just like they were doing.
Songun was pioneered by the great leader President KIM IL SUNG during the years of the anti-Japanese armed struggle and the visit of chairman KIM JONG IL to the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su no 105 Tank Division on the 25th of August 1960 signified the continuation of this. As dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN wrote;

"The Day of Songun, when General Kim Jong Il
started his leadership of the Songun revolution, is, together with the
day of the founding of the KPA (Korean People's Army), a historic day
when an important milestone was set up for the history of building up
our revolutionary armed forces and the history of our country. As there
was this significant day, a historic turn could be brought about in
developing our revolutionary armed forces and implementing the cause of
the Juche revolution, and the history and traditions of our sacred
Songun revolution that had been pioneered and developed by force of
arms, achieving victory, could be carried forward continuously. Songun is a proud tradition of the Korean revolution which was pioneered by Comrade Kim Il Sung and led by him and Comrade Kim Jong Il and the banner of victory and glory."

Under the Songun based
revolutionary leadership of leader KIM JONG IL the KPA and Korean
people smited US imperialism with full force.In January 1968 the USS
Pueblo an armed spy pirate ship of the US imperialist aggressors was
captured by the KPA navy off Wonsan(the Pueblo can be seen today on
the bank of the river Taedong).The US imperialists demanded the
immediate return the ship falsely claiming that it was in
“international waters” and the cowardly revisionists tried to advise the
DPRK to send the ship and its crew back.The great leader comrade KIM JONG IL said"Nowadays people of a certain country are saying that if a war breaks out in Korea it will be serious
problem,and “advising us” it would be better to have the Pueblo
quietly released.This would mean making a concession to US
imperialism,and we can never do such a thing.A concession to US
imperialism means submission and surrender.Since the our People’s Arm“Ny
did not capture the “Pueblo” on the sea off the United States,but when
it was in violation of our country’s territorial waters and engaged in
in acts of espionage,we need to neither make any concession to the
Americans or pander to them”The DPRK resolutely stood firm and refused to do so until an apology from the US was issued .In
1969 the US imperialist spy plane EC121 tried to infiltrate into DPRK
but was shot down by the KPA airforce.In 1994 a US army helicopter
infiltrated into DPRK airspace and was brought down by one shot by the
KPA.The US imperialists seeked to isolate and stifle the DPRK by
inventing the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula leading to the 1st
‘Korean nuclear crisis’ in the 1990s and the 2nd one in the 2000s.The
DPRK refused to bow down and instead declared a semi war state and
announced its intention to withdraw from the one sided and iniquitous NPT
in 1993. This move stunned the US and they had to enter into talks.When
Bush vociferated about a “rogue state” and “axis of evil” and raked up
the 2nd nuclear crisis the DPRK under the Songun supreme commander
comrade KIM JONG IL responded with a series of hardline measures namely
withdrawing completely from the NPT and declaring itself a nuclear
state.This was not mere words,the DPRK successfully carried out nuclear
tests in October 2006 and May 2009. The nuclear device was the fruit of
self reliance based 100% on Korean resources and technology.Thus
under the Songun revolutionary leadership the DPRK has been fortified
ever more strongly as powerful socialist state of independence.A
country of Juche which is able to do what it likes and say what it like
no matter what others may say or think.Comrade KIM JONG IL brilliant
commander of Songun declared on the 1st of January 1995,at the Takasbol
army post that the Korean people had a choice of either being an
independent people adhering to socialism or colonial slaves of
imperialism.

Today the Songun revolutionary leadership is carried forward by the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN who said " Counter
provocations with an immediate counteroffensive, and an aggressive
war with a war of justice for the country’s reunification–this is
our principled stand and unshakable will.
